Hermann V. von Hiddessen († after 1447), her son, was councilor of the old town of Warburg in 1434. He was one of the signatories of the Unification Treaty of Old Town and New Town of 1436 and was elected to the joint council in 1436.
In 1531 family members were members of the Warburg Calendar Brotherhood .
Heinrich von Hiddessen married Maria Nabercord in 1570 and became mayor. The couple had two sons, Rudolf and Johannes.
Hermann von Hiddessen , probably a brother of the aforementioned Heinrich, was mentioned as a witness in 1578. He was married to a woman Anna Räuber and was a councilor (consul) for 32 years. In 1603 he died and was buried in or near the Neustadt parish church. His epitaph is still in the right transept next to the south portal and bears the following inscription under a crucifixion scene: “ AD PIAM PERPETVAMQUE MEMORIAM MAGNIFICI ET CONSVLTISSIMI HERMANI AB HIDDESEN HAL REIP AD ANNOS 32 CONSVLIS VIG. ELDEM NOBILIS ET PIAE CONIUGIS ANNAE RAEVBERS HAEREDES HOC MONVUMENTVM POSVERE ANNO 1603 “(For the pious and eternal memory of the great and very experienced Hermann von Hiddessen, who was a watchful councilor for 32 years, and his honorable and pious wife Anna Räuber, the heirs have in the year 1603 had this monument erected).

As "Kurmainzischer Commissar on the Eichsfeld" he led the Eichsfeld , in particular the offices of Lindau and Gieboldehausen , back to the Catholic faith. In 1616 he had a statue of the Apostle John erected in the Provost Church in Heiligenstadt with the inscription: " RUDOLPHUS AB HIDDESSEN FIERI FECIT 1612 ". His brother Johannes von Hiddessen became the commander of General Tilly's bodyguard during the Thirty Years' War . He was buried in the Neustadt church in Warburg, his grave slab is still preserved.
Heinrich von Hidessen , doctor of both rights , was the Electoral Mainz bailiff at Lindau and Gieboldehausen, succeeding Rudolf.
Hermann Christoph von Hidessen (* 1639) was court advisor to the Electorate of Mainz.
In the 18th century the family belonged to the wealthy large landowners in the Warburger Feldmark and also had fiefs in other places in the district. She lived in a baroque city palace at Warburger Unterstraße 18 and also owned the house Unterstraße 74, formerly the cloister courtyard of the Paderborn Abdinghof monastery .
Petrus Ignatius von Hiddessen († 1787) acquired the hereditary goverment and exemption office for 700 thalers in 1748 with the approval of the prince-bishop's government of Paderborn . His brother Otto von Hiddessen , who was the vicar of Warburger Neustadt, took over the building in Warburg, the Romhof , from the Kalandsbruderschaft . However, the brotherhood reserved the right to use the storage room, the caland floor. During the Seven Years' War the turmoil occurred around the Romhof. In the time of need, Petrus Ignatius von Hiddessen bought flour and stored it on the bottom of the calender in order to sell it outside at a higher price. When this became known to the starving population, an excited crowd stormed the house and stole the supplies. Otto von Hiddessen's heirs sold the farm to the Prussian government.
Wilhelm Franz von Hiddessen (1768–1853) inherited the free office in Warburg in 1787 and exercised it from 1796 - since he still had to complete his studies. From 1803 to 1807 he was the Royal Prussian Justice and Police Director in Warburg, from 1808 to 1813 Mayor of the city and canton of Warburg and a member of the imperial estates of the Kingdom of Westphalia . From 1817 to 1830 he was district administrator of the Warburg district and at the same time Warburg mayor.
Wilhelm Otto von Hiddessen (1797–1890), his son, was district administrator of the Warburg district from 1831–1840. In 1840 he was suspended from office due to poor administration. In 1847 a procedure for involuntary compulsory retirement was initiated against him and a foreclosure auction of his property, which in 1839 had consisted of 250 acres of farmland, among other things, was applied for.
